• Due to the death of my regular frame, I am looking for a nice(ish) frame to chuck some existing quality components on. I am looking for a frame in the region of £100-150 of anyone has anything surplus, though this price is a little flexible.

    I am ideally after something with the following:

    -Steel (531 or Columbus)
    -59/60cm seat tube
    -Braze ons for friction shifters and rear mech
    -I have something of a fetish for Italian road bikes, but I understand that may be somewhat out of my price range.
    -Surface rust etc is fine, I am not bothered about cosmetic condition, and actually if that means more for the money, I usually respray everything anyway, although clean BB threads would be nice.

    If anyone has any offerings vaguely fitting this bill I would be interested.
